Can negligence on the part of engineers lead to both criminal and civil liability, why or why not?
Yes, but only if the engineer's actions are intentional, as negligence does not encompass accidental errors or oversights in engineering practices.
Yes, because negligence in engineering practices can result in harm or loss, subjecting the engineer to civil liability for damages and, in severe cases, criminal liability for reckless or grossly negligent conduct.
No, because criminal liability requires a violation of statutory regulations or codes, which engineering negligence does not typically involve.
No, engineering negligence can only lead to civil liability because it pertains solely to breaches of contractual duties or torts, not criminal actions.
